Re: Amouage Fragrance with the most incense

I think the Frankincense in MemoirMan is the most singular unadorned rendition of the note after the first hour or so Wormwood, Absinthe et al fall away. It's loud and clear.

EpicMan seems to be more about medicinal Oud, Interlude Man is a mix of spice and Opoponax etc. OpusVI is also a nice frankincense accord but Amber seems to balance, if not overtake it as the main player. Tribute seems more complex - aromatic, tobacco-ish etc. in character, it pales against Memoir Man.

Re: Amouage Fragrance with the most incense

Wow opinions are all over the place, I will avoid their attars at all costs because they have severe batch differences from what I have read. So if its a battle between Interlude, Epic and Memoir who wins the incense battle

Re: Amouage Fragrance with the most incense

Not including the Attars, I think Memoir Man has the most clearly distinguishable incense note. Jubilation XXV is my favorite Amouage, but is not what I would consider an incense fragrance. Epic Man also has a very strong incense note, but it is more blended with the other notes (oud, pepper, etc.), which makes it something more than just an incense fragrance. Other Amouage fragrances have incense notes, but it seems to play a secondary role in those. Therefore, I would consider Memoir Man the only true incense fragrance of the non-Attar Amouage fragrances.

Yes, these two. I think in JXXV the frankincense is more blended into the composition, whereas in Memoir there is more separation of the two dominant notes, almost as if the frankincense is layered neatly on top of the amber. Both are great fragrances but I think JXXV is just better overall.
